Trump may have kept Obama's bathroom, but he didn't keep Obama's bathroom guidance.

In 2016, as debates raged in states, Obama sent a letter to public schools nationwide saying they had to respect transgender students and let them use the restroom that matches their gender identity.

That guidance said that if public schools didn't respect rights, they could be seen in violation of Title IX, which protects students against gender discrimination. That could threaten schools's federal funding.

Last week, the Trump administration undid Obama's letter. The White House maintains it was for state's rights. The administration believes it should be up to states to decide what to do about protecting transgender youths.

That move frightened many LGBTQ+ advocates, who saw it as a hostile move against the community — and especially against the youngest members of the community, who are vulnerable.

Betsy DeVos, the new secretary of Education, was reportedly worried about making this move because of the high suicide rate among transgender students. Trans suicide hotlines reportedly had an increase in calls after the Trump administration undid Obama's guidance.

Trump later rolled back his “do what you want” attitude, saying it should be up to the states to decide where people can pee.

While it's a nice gesture to leave the politically correct gender-neutral restroom open in the White House, it doesn't align with the White House's policies of taking away protections.

The White House all-gender bathroom is a single-user restroom. If you hate political correctness, the White House single-user bathroom is a nice reminder you probably already have a politically correct gender-neutral restroom in your own home.
